Characteristics and significance:

Ensuring basic living, the state establishes a social security system, guarantees citizens' basic living and relieves workers' worries, which is not only the need of economic development and social stability, but also the important content of human rights protection and the embodiment of social progress;

In order to maintain social stability, China is a socialist country. The essence of socialist countries is to liberate and develop productive forces, eliminate exploitation and polarization, and finally achieve common prosperity. Implementing social security is conducive to narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor and improving the overall welfare of society. It is an important means for socialist countries to achieve the goal of common prosperity, thus fundamentally maintaining social stability.

To promote economic development, first of all, social security can adjust the total social demand and stabilize economic fluctuations. Secondly, the long-term accumulation and investment operation of social security funds will help improve the capital market. Third, social security ensures that workers can maintain their basic livelihood and their family members when they lose their economic income or ability to work, and the process of labor reproduction will not be hindered or interrupted. At the same time, the state can also provide subsidies for labor reproduction through childbirth, raising children and education subsidies to improve the overall quality of labor resources;

First, by ensuring the basic livelihood of all social members, the inequality of opportunities caused by sudden disasters, unemployment, diseases and other factors in the process of social development has been eliminated to a certain extent, so that social members can participate in fair competition in the market without worries; The second is to realize the redistribution of national income, narrow the gap between the rich and the poor and reduce the unfairness of social distribution results through all members of society sharing risks;
